WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump’s interest in taking intelligence briefings has been declining steadily since his first months in office and has dropped to near zero in recent weeks, according to a HuffPost review of all of his daily schedules.

“And now that they are arguably more important than ever, as foreign actors are again interfering in our democracy, tensions with Beijing are swirling, and America’s adversaries and competitors are becoming more emboldened, the president can’t seem to find the time to be briefed,” he added. But starting that May, right after he fired FBI Director James Comey for failing to end the investigation into the assistance his campaign received from Russia, the frequency of his briefings fell dramatically. Up until that day, May 9, Trump had taken 54 intelligence briefings in his 110 days in office, an average of 3.4 per week. In the 1,200 days since then, he has received 281 briefings, an average of only 1.6 per week.

Trump himself, asked about intelligence briefings in a recent interview with Axios, called the reports of the Russian bounties “fake news,” that they had “never reached” his desk, and that he does read the PDBs and is regularly briefed.

How much you want to bet he hasn't? Lmao! So freaking desperate, you Liberals and Democrats!

I'm sure he feels out of place anywhere they are talking about intelligence...

Well his embrace of Shallow State Ignorance is no surprise

He wouldn’t know intelligence if it bit him.

Who gives a shit. Focus on what he’s not doing for the country. He’s causing a lot of controversy, hostility and dishonest to all of us Americans. Intelligence will still protect imminent threats.

Trump, and a lack of intelligence. doesnt suprise me.

Looks like you’re being told what you need to

MAGA

Trump Can't Be Racist Because He Donated Money To Kamala Harris, Says Trump CampaignPresident Trump has already gleefully taken to calling Sen. Kamala Harris—Joe Biden’s official 2020 running mate— “nasty” and “mean,” but he must not have thought she was so bad when he donated $6,000 to her re-election campaign.\n And he’s friends with Kanye. You can be racist if you have acknowledged that someone is black. Noticing someone is black is the pinnacle of anti-racism

Trump suggests flu of 1918 ended WWII in 1945.JoeNBC on President Trump suggesting the Spanish Flu of '1917' ended WWII: “He’s ignorant of history ... He’s been ignorant of government, ignorant of diplomacy, and we have seen the effects of it now for over 3.5 years.” JoeNBC He’s not ignorant. No one is that stupid. He actually was around in 1945. So how could he possibly believe the flu epidemic and WWII coinicided? Think about it, if that happened that way, he would have seen people drop like flies when his family lived in Va Beach. JoeNBC Trump, walking down the middle of a street, holding up traffic, hears a voice in the distance... man: hey, you're blocking people! Trump: there's people?
